- Abstract: In the last decade hydrological science in the world has changed significantly. Numerous new methods have been introduced and also the way how hydrological problems are approached has changed dramatically. That is true also for the hydrological science in Slovenia. The present review of selected hydrological studies contributing to the advancements of hydrology in Slovenia demonstrates that Slovenian hydrology follows the most recent trends in the world, including the “Panta Rhei” initiative dedicated to scientific research of interactions between hydrology and society in a changing world. Majority of the presented studies are in some way related to Professor Mitja Brilly, whose leadership of the group of hydrologists at the University of Ljubljana resulted in such impressive development.
- Keywords: experimental river basins, field measurements, floods, hydrology, landslides, Slovenia
